"I really can't help it. I can only kneel down and kowtow to beg the hospital to perform the operation first. I have no choice. I can't watch my daughter get into trouble!"

At this moment, face and shame are bullshit, not a hair of his daughter is important.

Another half an hour passed, and just as Shen Jian was tossing and turning, the phone rang.

"Hey, Chuanzi."

"Brother Jian, I'm here. Send me your location and I'll come find you."

"good."

After hanging up the phone concisely, Chen Jian didn't hold out much hope and sent a location on WeChat.

About five minutes later, Shen Chuan came hurriedly carrying a box.

The moment he saw Shen Jian, Shen Chuan suddenly felt that he had a long way to go and an obligation to help his brothers prosper.

He didn't feel much about it before, but now Shen Jian's haggard appearance and dull eyes, how could he not be moved?

He used to be the most handsome among the brothers. Although he was less than 1.7 meters tall, his facial features were very handsome. But now, under the burden of life, he has long since turned into a greasy uncle, and even his hairline is moving up, showing signs of baldness.

The numerous hardships of life always visit him, and the young man who was once full of vigor and vitality is no longer there.

"Brother Jian!"

"Chuanzi, you are here."

Shen Jian forced a laugh, took out a piece of soft white sand from his arms, and handed over a cigarette.

"How much money is still missing?"

Chen Chuan lit one and asked him in a deep voice.

"We still need 120,000."

Shen Jian spoke in a low voice, and the gloom on his face could not be wiped away.

"One hundred and twenty thousand..."

Chen Chuan muttered this, feeling relieved. If the difference was too great, he would have no choice but to shamelessly borrow money from someone, even if he didn't know who to borrow from.

But now, including what he had on hand, he was only short of 10,000 yuan. This amount of money was not a problem. Even if he didn't borrow from anyone, the problem would be almost solved after 12 o'clock tonight.

"Take me upstairs to see Siyan first."

When Shen Siyan was born, he and Lao Wu went to the hospital to see her. Even the name was thought of by them together.

So he had special feelings for the oldest little girl of the next generation in this big family, even though he was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time.

Chen Jian hesitated to speak. He wanted to ask Chen Chuan how much money he had on him, but he found it difficult to bring himself to speak. Finally, he forced a smile and took Chen Chuan to the inpatient ward.

A woman in her fifties was sitting on a stiff stool next to the bed. This was Chen Chuan's aunt. Her eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had cried countless times.

Sister-in-law Wu Jiaohua was squatting beside the bed with Shen Siqi on her back, and she seemed a little crazy.

At this moment, there was no greeting and everyone was in a heavy mood.

On the hospital bed, Shen Siyan was sleeping with a pale face.

Looking at the respirator on his face, Chen Chuan's heart twitched, and an indescribable discomfort made his heart feel blocked.

Without any greetings or further questions, Shen Chuan walked out of the ward and came to the nurses' station, his tone somewhat excited.

"Nurse, why hasn't the surgery been performed on bed 29 yet?"

"Sir, the surgery can only be performed after you pay first." The nurse on duty said with a grim expression, "We don't want to watch helplessly, but this is the hospital's policy."

Chen Chuan felt aggrieved. The hospital did have this kind of system, and it did have its reasons. The hospital was not a charity. The drugs it used cost money, so it was impossible to provide free treatment.

But life is also precious!

A living life! How could they bear to watch it leave the world like this?

An unprecedented urge arose in his heart, and he wanted to change some old things.

After a moment of silence, Chen Chuan did not insist. He said in a deep voice, "Please notify the doctor and arrange the surgery immediately. We will go and pay the bill now."

"I'm sorry, we have to see your payment list before we can notify the doctor to perform the surgery."

“Damn it!”

Shen Chuan slammed the marble panel, startling the two nurses, who stared at him defensively.

"Chuanzi, don't be impulsive."

Shen Jian appeared behind him at some point and patted his shoulder.

"I'm sorry! I lost my composure."

Shen Chuan took a deep breath, barely controlling his expression and calming himself down.

He knew that all this had nothing to do with the nurses, they had no say in the matter, and it didn't even have much to do with the hospital. This was a common system in hospitals across the country and even around the world. If you didn't pay before undergoing surgery, you would inevitably encounter a small number of scoundrels who refused to pay the medical bills.

It is extremely difficult to change all this.
